On Oct. 4, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to hear Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, a case from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The plaintiff in Ames alleged discrimination on the basis of her membership in a majority group—that is, Ames is what has come to be known as a "reverse discrimination" case. The case will resolve a split in the circumstances regarding the evidence required for an employee to make a prima facie case of "reverse discrimination," and could require employers to reevaluate their diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
